Heroic Armor

Ancient Nord armor, available after completing the Companions questline, is no better than Iron armor. It's almost like you're wearing some moldy stuff looted out of a barrow. This is unacceptable for the heroes of Skyrim!

Heroic Armor provides the Ancient Nord look as a lore friendly "cosmetic" alternative for higher tier armor sets. The armor must be crafted at the Skyforge, but does not require completion of the Companions questline. Recipes require the same perks, and mostly the same materials, as their standard counterparts. Includes shields and circlets.
